One of the veteran leaders of the Steelers is stepping up and ripping on the NFL, the same league that left 400 fans without a seat at the biggest game of the season two weeks ago.
Clark says that the league left some of his own family and friends out in the cold after they pulled back the seats since they were deemed unsafe.
He stated on Pittsburgh’s 93.7 The Fan today that he wasn’t the only player that had an issue with the seats for family and friends.
“If you had enough people come to the game, you probably had that section of tickets that was messed up. Personally I think it was part greed that ruined the week, you know what I mean,” Clark said. “When you don’t do things the right way all the time and you don’t treat people correct and are kind of all about self, sometimes it’s not going to work out for you.”
Clark’s tone seemed to think that the league is headed for a long holdout, and that the union and owners are not going to get a new CBA done anytime soon. “I just think it’s a sad deal because it’s not going the way anybody wants it,” he said.
“There’s no way we can back down and give them what they want, and it don’t seem like they want to give us what we want. So I’m going to be a stay-at-home dad and do radio and TV.”

It is funny to me that somebody that makes 7 figures calls somebody out for greed.
